女性主义犯罪学与三方网络犯罪框架的协同作用

The SynergyBetween Feminist Criminology and the Tripartite Cybercrime Framework

本文旨在探讨女性主义理论在理解数字犯罪方面的价值。近一个世纪以前,弗洛伊德(Freud1927)在其对“文明及其不满”的分析中曾提醒我们,技术不仅为我们带来了进步,也使我们陷入了“悲惨境地”(另见Kirillova et al.2017)。毫无疑问,在使用信息通信技术(ICTs)相关的成本和收益的关键方面,对男性和女性来说是不同的(Al Izki and Weir 2015;McGerty2000;Mumporeze and Prieler2017)。事实上,网络空间中的性别问题是其社会前身的反映(Baym and Boyd 2012;Braithwaite 2014;Jane2016a,2016b),性别与犯罪分析的关键出发点是谁是受害者、原因为何以及有何影响(Burgess-Proctor2006;Cook2016;Eagly2016)。

This article is a theoretical treatment of feminist epistemology of crime,which advocates the centrality of gender as a theoretical starting point for the investigating of digital crimes.It does so by exploring the synergy between the feminist perspectives and the Tripartite CybercrimeFramework(TCF)(which argues that three possible factors motivate cybercrimes-socioeconomic,psychosocial,and geopolitical)to critique mainstream criminology and the meaning of the term“cybercrime.”Additionally,the article examines gender gaps in online harassment,cyber-bullying,cyber-fraud,revenge porn,and cyber-stalking to demonstrate that who is victimised,why,and to what effect are the critical starting points for the analysis of the connections between gender and crimes.In turn,it uses the lens of intersectionality to acknowledge that,while conceptions of gender and crime interact,they intersect with other categories(e.g.,sexuality)to provide additional layers of explanation.
